Do you need to wind the bobbin? If you just need put in the bobbin, make sure that the needle is in the highest position and that the presser foot is up. Slide open the cover by moving it towards you. Pull about 4" of thread from the bobbin and hold the bobbin such that the thread is coming off in a counter-clockwise direction. Put the bobbin into the bobbin case and secure the thread in the notch near the center bottom of the bobbin case. Next guide the thread into the notch to the left (near 7 on an analog clock). Hold onto the thread and slide the cover closed. To bring up the thread, make sure that the needle is threaded as well. Turn the hand wheel slowly towards you while you hold the needle thread with your left hand. Turn the wheel until the needle comes back out of the needle plate. Pull gently on the needle thread. You should see a loop of thread around the needle thread. Gently untangle this loop until you get to the end of the bobbin thread. Pull the needle thread through the opening on the left side of the presser foot. Then pull both threads to the back of the machine.

thread the upper part and the needle put presser foot down hold loose end of thread with felt hand and turn the wheel with right . the needle goes down shuttle wraps the bobbin thread around the upper and when needle comes up the bobbin thread will be with it . OR have yo MOMMA SHOW U HOW

Hi - if I understand your questions you're trying to wind a bobbin on the top, and haven't got as far as sewing yet. To do this you usually have to put the bobbin on the top spool for it, and move that into position so that it turns. To disengage the needle so it doesn't go up and down whilst you wind the bobbin up, on most machines you have part of the main drive wheel (on the far right) which turns against the rest of it, disengaging the part of the drive which powers the needle going up and down. Or at least that's how it works on most machines.

Most machines have a bobbin winder on top of the machine under the top cover. The thread may or may not go through the tension above the needle, depending on the machine. There is a small spool holder on top that holds the bobbin and you thread your thread through the bobbin and start the winder. Some machines need the right wheel to be pulled out so the needle does not go up and down, just winds the bobbin. Wind it carefully as if you have loose threads, it can jam the machine and make a thread tangle.

When you wind a bobbin on a Husqvarna and you leave the machine threaded to wind the bobbin through the needle, you must take the thread down below the foot (a metal foot only) before you take the thread up to the bobbin winder. If you take the thread directly from the needle it creates too much tension on the thread and crushes the center of the bobbin so that either you can't get the bobbin off the spindle or in some cases it damages the bobbin completely.

Some threads, the kind that can stretch slightly when pulled, shouldn't be wound through the needle at all. Instead go through the first guilde and then straight down to the little metal "button like" guide and then to the bobbin. It will create much less tension on the thread and wind it much better.

Title:How do I wind the bobbin? Pre-tension disk Bobbin winder shaft Bobbin

1.
Pull up the spool pin as far as possible, and then put a spool of thread on this pin.
2.
Pass the thread around the pre-tension disk.
Make sure that the thread passes under the pre- tension disk. Pre-tension disk Pulling it in as far as possible

Caution
If the spool of thread is not in the right place, the thread may tangle on the spool pin.

3.
Pass the end of the thread through the hole on the bobbin from the inside of the bobbin.
4.
Put the bobbin onto the bobbin winder shaft and slide the bobbin winder shaft to the right.
5.
Turn the bobbin clockwise, by hand, until the spring on the shaft slides into the groove of the bobbin.
Spring on the shaft Groove of the bobbin

6.
Turn on the sewing machine.
7.
While holding the end of the thread, gently press the foot controller or press start/ stop button (for models equipped with the start/stop button) to wind the thread around the bobbin a few times. Then stop the machine.
Note

If the sewing machine is to be operated using the foot controller, connect the foot controller before turning on the machine.

When the foot controller is plugged in, the start/stop button cannot be used to start sewing (only for models equipped with the start/stop button).

8.
Trim the excess thread above the bobbin.
Caution
Make sure you follow the instructions carefully.If you do not cut the thread completely, and the bobbin is wound, when the thread runs low it may tangle around the bobbin and cause the needle to break.

9.
Slide the sewing speed controller to the right (to set the speed to fast).(For models equipped with the sewing speed controller.)
Sewing speed controller
10.
Press the foot controller or press start/stop button (for models equipped with the start/stop button) to start.
11.
When the bobbin seems full and begins spinning slowly, take your foot off the foot controller or press start/stop button (for models equipped with the start/stop button).
12.
Cut the thread, slide the bobbin winder shaft to the left and remove the bobbin.
13.
Slide the sewing speed controller back to its original position (for models equipped with the sewing speed controller).

Caution
Not winding the bobbin properly may cause the thread tension to loosen, and may break the needle. Wound evenly Wound poorly

Note

When the sewing machine is started or the handwheel is turned after winding the thread around the bobbin, the machine will make a clicking sound; this is not a malfunction.

The needle bar does not move when you slide the bobbin winding shaft to the right.

that's a nice machine, one of the last mechanical Elnas with the discs for extra stitches. Firstly, you need to wind a bobbin, always use Elna swiss metal bobbins, with holes on one side only, slightly dished. Put on top of the bobbin spindle and take the thread from your spool on the spool holders at the back of the machine across to the tension disc on top left, its white bump, thread through the tension then back to the bobbin and pull the tail through a hole in the top of the bobbin. Flick bobbin across to the right against the stop, disengage the clutch by holding the outer flywheel and turning the inner towards you. Now press the foot pedal to start winding a bobbin, holding the thread tail so it starts off. Wind one full coverage of the bobbin so that the starting point is covered, then stop and cut the tail off with scissors. Now continue winding at 3/4 speed until bobbin is full, watch as it winds and give the thread a nudge with your finger so it fills top and bottom as well as in the middle of the bobbin. When it is full, the bobbin spindle will stop winding. Move it to the left, cut the thread and reennage the clutch by holding flywheel and turning the inner the other way. Now install the bobbin and click the thread into the tension device, see image.

Now thread up the top thread by taking the top thread from the spool, through the tension discs, across to the eyelet on top, down to the check spring, back up to the take up lever, then down to the needle catching the thread into the two thread guides enroute.See this image.

Now thread through the needle front to back, hold the top thread, close the bobbin cover leaving the tail sticking out the top, lower the needle down by turning the flywheel towards you through one cycle and pull the top thread, drawing the bobbin thread up to the top of the needle plate with it. Pull both threads under the pressure foot to the back and your ready to go. Remember, top tension should be on 5 and bottom tension should be on the red 1, don't change it. Brush out the bobbin holder assembly each time you use this machine and add one drop of oil into the middle of the bobbin holder, there may be a red dot or just the indenation. Run the machine for 30 seconds after oiling without thread, slowly to spread the oil through the bobbin mechanism. Standard 130/704H needles, change regularly (6 hours of sewing) and pick right sized needle and type point for the work you are sewing. Good luck with your SU.
